A SERIOUS QUESTION

So you're living life day to day, getting the Blooming Onion at Outback and eating the WHOLE salad at Chilis, when all the sudden you meet a really cool guy in a bar or at Starbucks, or Craigslist or wherever everyone finds the love of their lives these days. Its always fun getting to know each other even though doing the whole dating thing means you order the 9 ounce instead of the 12 at Outback and you take 3/4 of the salad home with you at Chilis. You find, some things are good, some things are not so good.

The good things could be that he's tall, but doesnt have big ears, he actually has some meat on his bones and doesnt dissapear when he stands behind a tree, he's a good kisser, and he likes beer. The not so good things could be that he's balding, has bad teeth, calls you muffin, and thinks Fudruckers is a class-A restaurant. But weighing the pros and the cons...it comes down to the important questions like, "Is this guy going anywhere in life?"

You can sit down and make your good & bad qualities list. Or you could do the man vs. wimp list and see where he stands. I like this list. Some guys you walk by and you just wanna go punch him in the face cause of his nerdiness. I'm talking about those guys that if a Srgt. Major in the Marines ever got a hold of him he would start crying and sucking his thumb. Let me just say that I've dated the dumb, immature, losers before and its very refreshing to now be dating a man! I find satisfaction knowing that my bf can change a tire, drive stick shift, tie a tie (and a bowtie at that!), grill a big piece of meat and most importantly, build a fire.

A wise college student once raised the question to us women after completing building the most amazing toasty fire in the fireplace, "Ladies, do you really wanna be with a man who can't build a fire?"

Think about it.
